First of all, Welcome! I’m genuinely glad you decided to join!
That said,
Swearing on Lemmy is actually mandatory and any posts found not containing any swearwords will be promptly removed and you will be permanently banned. These communities strive to reverse the damage done by algorithmically induced self censorship by requiring all participants to swear as much as possible.
Also, anyone censoring non swearwords like “dead” or “sex” that traditionally incur negative algorithmic interactions will also be sacked in addition to previously listed repercussions.
Thank you.
Fuck.
I doubt we’d ever have censorship here on Lemmy based on my understanding on how it works. If one instance starts censoring, people would just move to/make a new instance which is all still connected.
Unless I’m fucking misinformed?
Yeah no youre right. Theres still the chance of the major instance that everyone is using being censored but ig thatd be a temporary problem.
that is my understanding as well
